Wuthering Waves: Zani Best Build Guide

Dear players, Zani is finally out, and we know what that means. The queen of Wuthering Waves’ 2.X updates is at last available for us to pull, and her damage is nothing short of amazing. She is one of the better DPS units to come out in recent versions, and in this guide, we’ll go over what you need to build her properly!

Zani is a 5-star Spectro Gauntlets DPS unit who focuses on dealing Heavy Attack Damage and is highly reliant on the Spectro Frazzle mechanic for most of her damage. She is a unit that can both dish out a ton of damage and also take lots of it. Her ability allows her to take a blocking stance, which can freeze enemies when timed properly, making Zani a great unit for those of you who struggle with dodging. In addition, she also has a great deal of Swap Cancel availability during her ultimate transformation. This makes her a good pick for people who like to squeeze out as much damage from a unit as they can.

All in all, Zani is a fun and powerful unit to play, but you may find she is a bit lacking if you are not able to dip into most of her damage if you lack the units required to apply Spectro Frazzle, which at the time of writing are only Phoebe and the Spectro Rover.

3	Legend of Drunken Hero	Dealing DMG to enemies with Negative Statuses increases the wielder's ATK by 4% for 10s. This effect can be triggered 1 time per second, stackable up to 4 times.

When weapons are concerned, Zani’s best choice is no doubt her signature weapon, the [Blazing Justice]. This weapon is able to bring out the most of Zani’s damage and is a great addition to her overall kit. That being said, if you don’t have the resources needed to pull this weapon, there are other good alternatives you can use, with one of them even being completely F2P-friendly.
